PLEASE HELP ME ASAP !!!! Explain the evidence (4 parts) for evolution? Complete answer please

1 answer:

5 0

First of all, let us remember that "fitness" is defined as living enough to reproduce. If an organism has survived long enough to reproduce, it has done its part as far as survival is concerned, and id deemed "fit".

1) There is a struggle to survive. LIFE IS HARD. Survival is affected by limited resources, predators, and environmental factors. Organisms must compete with other organisms to obtain the necessary resources to survive. Organisms must evade predators and find successful ways to survive in challenging environments. Many more offspring are produced than those who stay alive long enough to reproduce themselves. Some offspring survive to adulthood and reproduce, many do not.

2) Traits in offspring are inherited from their parents.

3) There is variation in these inherited traits in the offspring. Most individuals among the offspring will not be identical to each other or their parents, but at the same time will carry the traits of their parents.

4) As conditions change, variations in traits may become more favorable than others for survival. Individuals who have the traits that enable them to survive and reproduce will pass these traits down to the next generation. Go back to step #1.

Explain mutations and how they can cause genetic disease

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes made during cell division, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals
called mutagens, or infection by viruses. Germ line mutations occur in the eggs and sperm and can be passed on to offspring, while somatic mutations occur in body cells and are not passed on.

Mutation has been the source of many Hollywood movies, but it's really a simple process of a mistake made in a DNA sequence as it's being copied. Some of that's just the background noise that DNA copying is not perfect, and we should be glad of that or evolution couldn't operate. But mutation can also be induced by things like radiation or carcinogens in a way that can increase the risk of cancers or birth defects. But it's pretty simple; it's basically an induced misspelling of the DNA sequence.
That's a mutation.

When a variant alters a protein that plays a critical role in the body, it can disrupt normal development or cause a health condition. A condition caused by variants in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder. In some cases, gene variants are so severe that they prevent an embryo from surviving until birth.

Explain the role of a hypothesis in a scientific investigation.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

A hypothesis is a testable proposition

used to explain scientific phenomena. It

may be based on previous observations

(a sort of educated guess) or it may

simply be a hunch. Most scientific

hypotheses are combinations of

observation and intuition. The important

thing is that the hypothesis be testable.

If the hypothesis is disproved through

testing, then it is discarded and a new

hypothesis is proposed. If the hypothesis

stands up to rigorous testing, then our

faith in the hypothesis is increased.

This system of careful, rigorous, and

unbiased testing of a hypothesis is what

characterizes the scientific method.

Hope it helps!

How do these equations explain why the total amount of O2 and CO2 remains the same?

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

This constancy of the chemicals involved denotes that no particular reaction is taking place on the cells involved. For instance, during photosynthesis it would require CO2, H2O and photons to initiate the process. Thank you for your question. Please don't hesitate to ask in Brainly your queries.
